BeneVision N1 Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 2 - 1
2 Equipment Introduction
2.1 Indications for Use
The BeneVision N1 Patient Monitor is intended for monitoring, displaying, reviewing, storing , alarming, and
transferring of multiple physiological parameters including ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 12-lead selectable,
Arrhythmia Detection, ST Segment Analysis, QT Analysis, and Heart Rate (HR)), Respiration (Resp), Temperature
(Temp), Pulse Oxygen Saturation (SpO
2
), Pulse Rate (PR), Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), Invasive Blood
Pressure (IBP), Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP), Carbon Dioxide (CO
2
) and Oxygen (O
2
). The system
also provides an interpretation of resting 12-lead ECG.
All the parameters can be monitored on single adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients except for the following:
■ The arrhythmia detection and PAWP is intended for adult and pediatric patients only
The BeneVision N1 monitor is to be used in healthcare facilities. It can also be used during patient transport
inside and outside of the hospital environment. It should be used by clinical professionals or under their
guidance. It should only be used by persons who have received adequate training in its use. It is not intended for
home use.
2.2 Equipment Features
The monitor is intended to be used in a hospital environment including, but not limited to, ICU, CCU, PICU,
Neonatology, RICU, emergency room, operating room, postoperative observation ward, etc.
The monitor can be used in two ways:
■ As a stand-alone patient monitor, or
■ As a multi-parameter module (MPM) for the Mindray BeneVision N22, BeneVision N19, BeneVision N17,
BeneVision N15, or BeneVision N12 patient monitor, hereafter referred to as “the host monitor”.
In this manual, the N1 is generally referred to as “the monitor” except in the situation describing its use with a
host monitor, where it is referred to as “the N1” to distinguish it from the host monitor.
